Rise From The Ashes

Everyone seem busy doing their jobs around our hide out. The Order didn't come around anymore other then that one time. We think it was weird for them to come around at all. I was out with Jake making some runs to get more things we needed. We decided to go outside the city to one of the outside ones. Another reason why because we think we found one of the other bands that could help us. Andy don't know what we were up to, he just knows that we were going out of LA to San Deigo. I was watching the side of the roads while Jake was driving.

"Do you really think they will help us if they are even out there yet?" I know it was a stupid question to ask but I had my doubts. We were going to find someone that doesn't have a good past because of some lying girl. Though the man means well why else would they have so many followers like we did.

"We can try to ask them for help, though we shouldn't bring them back to LA just yet. Their fanbase is more crazy but they are also more loyal to them. I think I know where they are and it's where they live. See people don't go checking their houses thinking that they ran and hid. You know they don't hide either." Jake was right, this dude was crazy. "Anyways, we somewhat share the same fans. It would be good to team up with them."

"There is also people that don't like them in our fanbase. Though this is the end of the world type shit and we need to get as much help as we can. Mostly all the other bands are gone. This band stands it's ground like we do. And they are crazy enough to fight unfair." We just laughed and I looked around the sides of the road. I had that feeling we were being follow but I didn't see anyone. "Jake, we need to get off the main road. I don't like the feeling I'm getting and you know if CC was here, he would be freaking out too." I looked behind us and seen these cars miles down the road, but they were coming fast though. "I mean it, get off the road, take a left here."
I see him looked up and frown before turning down another road and then turning again. It seem we had to get to the house another way. He turned again and then pulled into a back street and turn off the lights and car. We watched as The Order drove right past us and frown a bit. It's seem they wanted to know where we were going and would have lead them right to the house we were going to go to. I seen the one car stop and looking around. It was Ryker that was in the car. I wanted to ram it but knew it wasn't a good idea. I open the car door and got out to get a closer look.

"Jinxx, what the fuck are you doing? We need to get out of here. Don't go getting yourself caught because then I'm going to have to come save you." He was keeping is voice down.
"Don't worry, I just want to see why they are here and what they want. I don't know why they were following us. Maybe to take us out but we need to find out. I won't get caught." I closed the door and then move to the buildings to get a closer look at things. I found a way into an old run down house and went to the front window, closest to the road and lean against the wall to make sure I could hear them but they couldn't see me.

"Ryker, we lost them. They must have known we were following. You know they aren't stupid, it was dumb to even think we could get the best of them." Tate was looking around, "I mean they could have hid anywhere around this city. Though what I want to know is why come this far away from home. I know there is stores in the other one that aren't pick clean."

"I think they were looking for someone. They weren't getting off the main road until they seen us, so something tells me they found someone to help them. I don't have the list of people anymore that could help them. I know they aren't the only wants in hiding right now. We have no way to look for them. And of all places why come out here. This is a bigger waste land then their home is." I peek around the window and see that he was getting back into the car.

I was about to walk out of the house before I felt something hit me hard in the stomach and send me falling on my knees. I looked up to see that is was Kai, he was one of The Orders best fighters, Ashley ran into him the one day and he nearly killed him if it wasn't for us getting there in time.

"I see, so you all are still alive yet. Gives us a better reason to try and hunt you down more. I told Ryker there is no way you guys could have die all them years ago. Now I see for myself that I was right. Well for you that is, maybe it's time to get rid of you. Then there will be one less issue in this world." Kai was standing over me and I really thought he was going to beat the shit out of me before someone hit him over the head with something and pulled me to my feet and out to the car.

"What the hell are you two doing here?" Jake and I looked to see that it was one of the people we were looking for and sighs a bit. "I mean it, what are you doing here and you know they are really close to my house. I don't like that they are here."

"Listen, we need help, I think the only way we can beat them is to have us and our people join together and fight them. Everyone else is gone, in them camps. We really need help if we are going to take them down. Andy don't know we came here looking for you." I looked at Dahvie, trying to see if he would help or now.

"Fine, I'll help but there is only very little of us around yet. We did have a group of 50 but The Order cut us down like we were nothing so it's just me, Jayy and 4 others. How many is in your group yet. Maybe we can find other people." He told Jake where to go and to keep the lights off of the car known that they were still around.

"There is about 22 of us. Five are just kids from age 13 or younger.The rest are fighters." I explain to him the plans.

"There is about 13 main people that run The Order. That one I just knocked out is one of their best fighters. There is a few more then just Kai. Wyatt, Amya, Nia, Kenzie and Jett are all their fighters, they are the people you have to watch out for. Then there is the spy. Caiden, he trieds to get into groups of the rebels and he betrays them. That's how the other bands fell. As you probably already found out they have marks on them that let you know they are from The Order. Tate is Ryker's right hand man, he gives out orders as much as Ryker does. Ryker also has a wife Sophie, she is hidden away at their house with their kids Kira and Xander. Then there is Zola too, she will try and get people like Ashley. I only know this is because Zola came after me. It's just I out smart her before she could even do anything." Jake and I were in shock on how much he knowns about The Order, maybe we really did need these people to join us. That way we have a good fighting chance.

"Damn, you really know your stuff about these people. So do you know how to get rid of them then?" Jake just looked at him as we drove back to his place.

"I think the only way is to take down their fighters, the people they have come after you. After that, Tate needs to go too. The only good way to beat Ryker is going after his wife and kids. It's the only way really. Though it's so hard to get to them. Where they live, there is tons of people that follow them. And you can't forget about the camps to. They are usually around the city they call home. There is about 15 of them and they are huges, but if we can take them down to. It would be good." He got out of the car and walked into the house with us following him. "Make yourself at home, I don't think it's best to go out there anymore tonight. They will see you coming because of the lights on the car. So just stay and make yourself at home." He walked off and it gave us time alone.

"He knows a lot about that group, maybe it was a good thing to come here even though we didn't tell Andy about it. But I think we might have a chance to beat this group now." Jake was peeking out the window making sure that no one was out there. "We need to talk them into coming back with us."

"He save me from getting my ass kicked by Kai, when I went to leave, I was found out. They know the 'wild ones' are alive now since he didn't kill Kai right there. So we need to get back home as soon as we can to make sure the guys and girls are okay because he knows that we are alive and it will lead him right back to the hotel where everyone is hidden. I know we shouldn't have left!" Jake was about to say something until we heard something blow up close to the house. Dahvie, along with what was left of their group came running into the room.
"We need to go now. They are blowing up any of the houses with lights on and I think it's too late to turn off our lights. So if you want us to come back with you we need to go now! Jayy, get everyone's stuff ready." He ran off somewhere in the back of the house. There was another loud boom and the lights went off. He came running back. "We need to go and now!" Him and Jayy rush everyone out of the house and we got back in the car we came with. It's a good thing we put armor on all our cars. Andy thought it would be the best thing to do since they were always trying to get rid of us.

"We have to make sure the others know we are coming back. We told them we were going to be gone for a day, seems we are going to be making this trip short. I will let Andy know we are coming back with more people too." I radio back to my friends and left them know what's going on.

"Just get back here you two. We will figure out what we are going to do about them known we are alive yet. It seems like another fake death won't be happening this time. I'll have Ash, open up the main road and then put the traps bad up after you past. CC and I will help him. Cambria and June will be at the hide out to help you guys out. Next time just tell me you're going for help. We need all the help we can get." Andy didn't seem mad that we didn't tell him the truth but then again when you're in this type of world there really isn't anything to be mad at other then the people that is causing the trouble.

"Andy said to come the main road. He's going with Ash and CC to take down the traps and then putting them back up as soon as we past." I just sit back and just closed my eyes. This world was a mess.

"You guys aren't going to let this much." I looked back in the mirror to see Dahvie and Jayy looking out the back. "How thick is this armor around the car?"

"Why are you asking that? What did you see back there." Jake stepped on the gas more. I really didn't like where this was going.

"They got guns, really big guns and it's aim right at us." Jayy grabbed the four kids and push them to the floor and cover them as did Dahvie when the shots were coming at us.

"Shit, this isn't good, they really don't like us. Jake turn here and then turn right and then another right and left. It will take us to the main road and get us some cover too." I picked up the radio. "We are coming in sooner then we like. Going the short cut because they have guns and trying to shoot us off the road. Make sure you're ready, I'll jump out and help you guys get the traps back up." I got the okay from Andy and Jake did what I told him to do. As soon as we were past the piont. I jumped out and help the others put the traps back up.

"You know, you two are fucking crazy for going on there. You should have at least took Ash with you." I knew this was coming, I mean he hated when we did things ourselves.

I was about to answer him, though it was cut short as gun fires toward us. "We need to run now!" We ran down the main road and into a build about a block away from the hotel. We made sure to never put anything near the hotel. The gun fires kept going off and we didn't hear them stop until we were about at the hotel. Then we heard a huge boom known that they hit the trap. As we got into the hotel, everyone was there and Alice came running up to me.

"Don't you ever do that again! Damn it you guys could have gotten killed and we wouldn't have known!" Alice hugs me tightly and I just hugged her back. Though I was starting to feel really tired out of no where. "Jinxx, you okay?" I seen everyones eyes on me but before I could do anything or even answer them. Everything just went dark for me. The last thing I remember was Alice and my brothers yelling my name.
